HOW TO BE A BETTER STUDENT

Do your homework◦ If you're stuck then do not lose your cool,

just focus on your work and you'll succeed.

◦ The first that you have to do is concentrate, do not think in nothing else, only in your work. Do not use your phone, because it could lose your focus.

◦ If you have a homework assignment, DO IT!

◦ If you have a project DO IT!

Study definitions and complete some exercises. ◦ Take some time to write some problems up, or you could ask someone to write

them for you.

◦ Start to read a little more.

◦ Study in not learning the information from the beginning, that’s not what it is, study is read in forced what you should to learn, not looking of the papper for 10 minutes and say “All right I know this information”. NO! You should know it from your test and from the future too.

Take notes

◦ Review your notes when you have free time. Get organized.

◦Use of mind maps can be helpful for understanding hard topics.

◦ If you do not understand something very well, go for extra help!, because this way the teacher can see what you really want to explain you. Or study in small groups, it really works.

Pay attention during class◦ We know that is not easy, but you

have tou concetrate, do not look to the walls it is only goint to lose your focus more tan after you were.

Ask to seek clarification.◦ Ask a parent or older sibling to look over your notes and

create a mini-test for you 3 days advance of your test.

◦ If you don’t understand something, ask questions.

◦ You have to tell to the teacher what your problem is, because the teacher is not a main reader you have to ask him.

Don't look at the clock at all during the class.

PROBLEMS

SOLUTION

◦ Attend all classes. Some students find it difficult to simply get up and go to class.

◦ Try to ignore internal distractions. Try to forget all personal problems during study.

◦ Set up a time for relaxation. Have a brief rest after school´s class. The best time for this is after you arrive home or before dinner. You can’t been a good student if you don’t rests

Be prepared for class. Reading assignments before the class. By reading the assignments before class, you feel yourself in a better position to ask questions. More importantly, you are better to answer questions that the teacher ask.

Take notes in class. Even when exams are not based on class notes, the notes will give an indication of what topics you need studying. During class, it is best to listen attentively and take notes, the more material will be available to add to the notes.

Review what you have learned. Reserve a few moments before each class or exams to review mentally what you have studied.
